the solitary workman under a small
shed, where perhaps half-a-dozen blocks
of fine white marble stood ready for

it was a nice neighborhood. Well, it
may be, but | don't fancy watching a
man making tombstones all day
is thar what he docs?' asked Laura,
looking pensively at the workman over
the way.
He displayed u fine set of muscles,
as he stood with his flannel shirt open
and his sleeves rolled up looking
about for a place to put "a large new
! block of marble. He was n tall man,
closc-knit and supple. with good head
and eyes Of great power,
Laura stood watching him, and Won

WASHINGTON LETTER.

u Tue j llblcIH CouS CESS W pt8 III III
October and run into the regular
session, is now topic of speculation
here. Officers of the Executive De
partment hope such a calamity will
be averted, as the President is re-
ported as saying that he would not
call Congress together unless it be.
came necessary in order to AVOID a
financial depression. Officers of
the Departments have much hap
pier life when Congress is away, for
with it always comes a horde of Of
fee hunters which fingers as long as
the session lasts.
But the business of this great
country has grown too vast to be
carried on by the methods which
served well enough a half century
ago. Not one-tenth Of the work
that Congress ought to do ever gets
done at all, and one of the chief
reasons for this is the waste Of time
fror March to January, for although
Congress meets on the first Monday
in December, it never gets down to
business before the holidays.
The cure for this is in the Presi-
dents hands. The Fifteth Con
grcss began its official existence on
the 4th of this month and its mem
bers are now on pay. He has only
to exercise his prerogatiye Of con
ycning Congress and pointing out
the work which most needs its at
tention. If he neglects TO do this,
he will be largely responsible for
the failure of necessary legislation,
The most important legislation
expected of the Congress just ended
failed because of the stupid organi-
cation of the House. Speaker Car.

on Mr., Randall's shoulders. His
disposition is to oppose all appropri.

all the more priced when he does
occasionally indulge in talk. In his
opinion, Mr.. Cleveland's administra
ton is not successful, whatever the
desires and Intentions of those at
the head of affairs may have been.
1t was impossible for them to follow
out a successful policy with the
weight of a party SO composed.
While all the Presidents have made
some bad appointments, he thinks
Mr.. Cleveland has been more often
betrayed than any. A large per
centage of his appointees have been
either incompetent or improper per
sons, or, being competent, have been
rascals. Some of these men he has
selected without knowing anything
about them; others he has appointed
upon the endorsement of members
of Congress of his own party who
have not hesitated to be.ray his con-
fidence.
president Cleveland has been
pulled both ways" continued the Sen
ator from Vermont, "between his
civil service reform pledges and the
party pressure. Sometimes he APP
peared to hold to the one and some
times to yield to the other" The
Senator firmly believes that the
Democrats will renominate him,
however, for fear they cannot find
another man who would do as well.
"MARCH is the typical coquette for
you. She shines, but she never
warns She weeps, but sheds only
frozen tears She woes, but to no
thing but desolation. She is kind
in seeming, but her heart is the
heart of the tiger, who purrs while
he crouches. She is full of the
promise of violets, but she has not
even a bud in her beart. She fools
the simple robins back to the North
ern woods with smile that develops
into a rage. She Sits snow through
her laughter, and bestows a blow
when you look for kiss. All, she
is heartless jade, and yet who can
quite hate her? For the last few
evenings, with a yellow bow at her
throat, she has leaned 50 coyly over
the sunset bars, and promised such
brave things for the morrow, that
even while we sit and shiver the
unfullilled hours we can't help being
little grateful for the pretty prom
Use and the picture. Take heart, all
things that wait and are weary for
coming of sunny weather. The
conflict is turbulent, but the Getts-
burg Of the year is fought and
gained. Already the knobs that
face the south begin to uplift their
banners, and out Of their cells the
long-imprisoned grass-brigades are
marching forth to soundless music.
The hand that rules in June rules
also in March-do not for get itp'

CLEVELAND WILL NOT SIGN IT.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-An effort mas
been made since the adjournment Of
Congress to induce the resident to sign
the river and haroor bill and those inter
ested in securing this action assert that
there is nothing in the constitution to
prevent his doing so now if he is so dis
posed. Several members of Congress. in
Guiding Representatives Willis and
Dibble, are of the opinion that he has the
power, ana have endeAvoI ed to persuade
him to sign the bill. He informed them
he could not do so as he was fully con-
vinced that his constitutional power to
sign or veto acts Of Congress expired
with the adjournment of that body.
Attorney General Garland agrees with the
President on this question.
THE DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION BILL.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE effect of
the failure of the deficiency bill will be
more serious than is generally believed,
inasmuch as ii contained provisions for
supplying the pressing demand for postal
cards, stamps and other items connected
with the postal service, the denial Of
which will, it is expected, seriously en-
barrass the department aud the puolic
legal machinery of the government will
also be materially disarranged during the
remainder of the fiscal year, as no money
will be available FOR jurors, witnesses or
marshals' fees and many prisoners, nota-
bly, those confined at Fort Smith, cannot
be tried for months. A number of
soldiers claims aggregating 100000,
which had beeG certified by the Treasurer,
will fail also of settlement.

To TIE Editor OF the Gazette:
On the 23rd of May next, there is to
begin ct Washington, D. c., to last one
week, an Interstate eucampment. There
is offered as prizes $4,000 in cash, to be
won by open competition. All Of the
states and territories viii be represented.
there being already IS many as 100000
volunteer guards booked toc the encanp-
ment. Texas will be represented by
Houston, Galveston and San Antonio
companies, all Of which have full equip
ments and dress uniforms, and also
money on hand besides. These COM
panies will do what is in their power to
reflect credit on Texas, and also to ad-
vertise our state, and of course will
specially represent their respective parts
of the state.
Now, l see no reason why North Texas,
and Fort Worth especially, can not be
represented by our company, the "Pan-
tifer City Fcncibles." We have full
company, made up of as good material as
can be had anywhere, and fully differed
with men who have had thorough mill
tsry training. The ranks OF the compa-
ny are being swelled with the best young
men of the town. The company is now
drilling three nights each week, aud can
increase ite work 10 an every nights
drill. if any interest is shown in the mat
ter. Excepting fey men, cur citizens
h2ve net given any assistance to the com
pany, ana it has been long, hard struggle
fer the men to keep up like they have.
They need equipments and dress uni
forms They owe small debt that lust
now can be settled to advantage. Cen

DO her part I underGtanc that 1880
or $1,000 will pay the debt, equip the
company aud pay their expenses 20
